Description

Students from Monterrey, Mexico in a classroom with a professor in 1964.

Prior to the 1990s, international students on exchange programs comprised the majority of the Latino population at the University of Kentucky. Since these students were expected to return to the communities they were raised in outside of the United States, their needs reflected a different reality from their domestically raised counterparts. Students born in the United States from parents of Latin American descent would begin to comprise the majority of Latinos at UK in the 1990s-2000s.
